Get Ready to Save, People!

Hi, and welcome to FrugalFrumFashion!

I can't wait to see how this goes! See, I had this great idea that maybe we could be spending a leetle teeny weeny bit less on clothes, and still look great. We all know how we love to shop (fess up, ladies!) but our husbands DON'T love looking at that long, long itemized list that comes at the end of the month....you know...the credit card bill? 

So since I'm an avowed, acknowledged, and addicted bargain hunter (me big chief Frugal Lady! Me catch great big bargain today!) and I'm always getting complimented on my fresh kills--oops, I mean finds--I figured I'd spread the wealth. Er...I guess that's literal. Wealth. Get it? Haw-haw.

The deals are mostly local to the Brooklyn area so far. Nice frum place to start, eh? I'd welcome local deals from other folks out there, though. Yes, out-of-towners, even you. (No, I'm not a snobby New Yorker! How dare you even insinuate something like that? :D )

Anyway, just a word of caution before you proceed. This blog is not--and I repeat, NOT--for those of you who are looking to save 10% off your $1,000 Prada heels, or the gals who won't touch anything that's not a brand name (even if they scrub furiously with hand sanitizer afterwards). When I say "get ready to save," I mean You. Will. Save. We're talking cheap here. Le Cheape Couture. The cheapest of the cheap. But still totally cute, as long as you guys make sure to whap me over the head if my unique fashion sense runs away with itself. It does that sometimes. I treat it so nicely, but it still insists on running away from me every so often...sigh. So I'd love to get suggestions on outfits and combos.  I also want to hear about your own deals and steals.

Spread the joy! Let every woman save!

    1. I had a crazy idea to maybe resell items from these discount stores to people who see them on the blog and like them? I would have to charge shipping and a small surcharge. I'm not sure it would work because the stock rotates very quickly, and by the time I get back to the store there might not be any items left. What do you think?

    2. Cute. Why not sell full outfits, complete with accesories? Thing is, you'd have to shop for size of purchaser, so that would complicate things. B'hatzlacha, whatever you decide!

  2. Guess this is only for those who live in Bklyn then?

    1. Absolutely not! It's for anyone who wants to have a good laugh at my bargain-ey wardrobe. ;)
